Sesamo Apriti

Sesamo Apriti (Open Sesame) was the Italian version of Sesame Street, first broadcast in 1971. Approximately 50 episodes of the American show were cut to a half hour, and translated into Italian. A Sesamo Apriti board game and record album were released in 1978.

The word Muppet, in the original dubbing, was translated by the term "babau" - which is the name of a legendary monster of fairy tales.[1]
